    I last night saw a tough $100.00 on a bad day token sold for $.99 free shipping as the seller wrongly it.

    Whew I would take a few shoe boxes full at that price.

    I use AS if line out deals.

    Considering how market in tank I am sure a lot of them get away these days.

    it is a fallacy to think you would have gotten the item at the next bid ... the winners max bid could have been at market value and they got a good deal because they placed their bid early.
